From the -tern of her heart he plucked the full blos somed flowers of honied caresses and fon dest enderments, and after enjoying the thrilling and intoxicating fragrance born alone in Hie deiicious exhalations of those J leaven-bedewed petals of love he threw i hem into the mud of neglect and-left them to freeze and to die amid the icy peltingsof deertion'- coldest winter. IJut what of t iiat r I !e is a man, yes, a so-called gentle man. And what has he ruined? What has he crushed? What has he blighted? Only .i woman's heart; only a womans dream; only a woman's life. That's all. Only a woman's heart fondled with, pettied with, toyed with, caressed, and then crushed and and wrecked, and made desolate forever. We sx" her now in the drearv desolatencss tf her bitter and raylsss bereavement. We .-ee her as she strolls in memory around the -hrine at which her heart once bowed in fondest and sweetest worship". She sees through her grief filled eyes the ashes of what was once the glowing fires of a burn ing idolatry, no a so cold and so deaU and which seem like snow drifts from the win ter of dispair. She trusted with fullest trust, with vomanlisst faith, and fell, an angel of joyounness, from the radiant heaven of brightest hope to the rayless deeps of blackest dispair. She never dreamed that he was other than he seemed. The image on her heart's high throne has been shivered by his own iconoclastic hand; but the shattered fragments he wa- powerless to destroy. Uending over these, she realizes all he has done; she review - the past the wooing the winning the deep, earnest, idolatrous worship she gave in return for the oft repeated assur ance of his devotion. She trusted him ; she reaps her reward. - No tear stains her cheek .is one by one she takes his letters" from their, casket, and for the last time, reads what was written, ere the shadows dark ened her life. She is no stoic! She is a woman pure and loving. But she will not ield to tears, she must battle with the sense of oppression that threatens to crush her very life. One by one those letters are lighted at the taper, and one by one they blaze and blacken into ashes. Let him re joice for he has been successful. The sacrifice- is complete. The heart, he wooed and won, has become an urn, with ashes only in its keeping. And now, deep, deep, deep, so deep that none may know, she has buried her dead heart tenderly under the w intrv snow . 'LEYEI.AXDH NEW LIFE. Ilin Virs Day a a Connellor in the Metropolis. Kx-President Cleveland was up by nine o'clock yesterday morning, and half an hour later Mrs. Cleveland joined him at the breakfast table, w hich was set in their pri vate apartments at the Victoria. Colonel and Mrs. Lamont and Mrs. Folsom took nreakfas- with them. During the meal several card were brought up to them rom reporter,, and after breakfast Colonel Lamont answered the cards in person. He nad the reporters brought up to his recep t:on room on the fourth floor. He said that Mr. Cleveland was preparing to go to hs off.ee to begin work in earnest He nought Mr. Cleveland would remain at the hotel for a month or two before .oin to housekeeping. a "As for myself." he said, -I xvill takc a vt for a week or two before be-bin-work s the head of one of the street car !!n?v There U r.o truth whatever in the . . - i STORi WILSON.

While Colonel Lamont was entertaining the reporters, Francis Lynde Stetson, of the.cx-l'rcsidents law firm, drove tip to the hotel in Tv-Cflrriage and sent his card up to his di.-tinguihcd law partner, and in a few minutes he returned to the carriage, accom panied by Mr. Cleveland. Mali an hour later the carriage waited in front of Mr Cleveland'- law office at No. 45 William Street. The other member of the firm were on hand to welcome Mr. Cleveland, and e-cort him to the room that will he his private of fice. On his de-k v. -re many letter-, and he began his work by reading them. To of the letter were from persons who wished . to retain hi- services and large sums were t.amed a- fees. 1 hey were quite lengthy, and their tone led Mr. Cleve land to believe that they were w ritten by cranks. However, the members of the firm did not care about peaking ot their contents. Mr. Cleveland finished reading his letter about one o'clock, and then, ac companied by Mr. Stetson, he went to the Downtown Club for luncheon. It was said down town that Mr. Cleve land was about to be elected a member of the club. At the club house I learned that he was proposed two weeks ago, but as the organization now has one thousand members, its full constitutional limit, and as there were seveni y-fte proposals prior to Mr. Cleveland, his election may not occur for some time. It is likely, however that the House Committee at their next meeting will lender him the courtesies of the club until such time as an election may be possible. After returning to his office. Mr. Cleve land received several callersr and at 4 o'clock the ex-President finished his work and returned to the hotel. There he found Mrs. Cleveland entertaining some callers. He and his party dined about six, and in the evening they occupied a box at the Broadway Theatre and witnessed perfor mances of "Little Lord I'ountleroy." K.VXSOM AND VAX IT.

Dear Sir The reading of your very able and beautifully polished article, ''Two Giants," afforded me so much pleasure, I write to thank you in this way for the feast.

And if to aid in the completion and erection of appropriate, magnificently bronzed or gran tic tributcr, towering heavenward in silent sublimity, voluminous in cold, adaman tine solidity, insensible janitors of uncon scious inanimate bodies gently vesting un der its massive pedestal, it be thought prac ticable to employ the best, and poetic talent of the State in appealing to its citizens for generous contribulation, none more com petent and efficient for the purpose, could be found within the borders, than the lin guistic, felicitous, facetious, versatile and mellifluouslv symphonious editor, Henrv Blount, of the Wilson Mirror " The Fanner' Ditty.
